Across the road cant seem to read a calendar and are having a display. Dog going berserk, can't hear tv. Absolutely livid

Aibu to think if you're still setting fireworks off now you're just a little bit fucking dim

They certainly provoke strong feelings. But currently legal to buy and use, so best to desensitise your pets I think. You can't expect the world to revolve around your fears and preferences.

Drug dealers let off fireworks in their own gardens to signal what, exactly?

That they have stock

I love them! My 3Dc, dog and 2 cats are pretty chilled about them too.

My child is scared of them but I sympathise, but it's not all year round.
We need to accept that people inconvenience people to some degree. My neighbors also tolerate my children making noise on other occasions.
You say you have a dog - there are plenty of people who are scared of dogs, allergic, hate piss and poo on sidewalks and in parks, or just dislike barking, yet it hasn't stopped you from getting it!
I think the only group that really should be taken into account are those with PTSD etc.

A single firecracker apparently means "the supplies are in".

This sounds like total nonsense. Drug dealers use WhatsApp just like everyone else does. It's end to end encrypted. And you can get across more details than just "bang".

I'm not a user myself. But it's common sense.

Haha they used to say it in my hometown too! They'd let off fireworks to show that there were supplies available at the park, allegedly. So we all believed as kids. Suppose it's a good way of letting the police know! I didn't know about the single firecracker at the end!

There are many more wild creatures and birds than there are pets, so YANBU.

Around where I live we get the once a month 'Bangers' announcing a new supply of Drugs, for those that want them.
Bloody infuriating 😡

From the 2nd to the 9th with one night off on Friday, just one family doing it.
Screaming ones this weekend, each one lasts 30 secs before the next and the next.
When I think it's over, BANG. They were just setting up the next lot.
It's a quiet village backwater where I am, so we're used to silence of an evening, but my neck ends up like a taught rubber band.
